I know I have said it a thousand times – but I really photograph the sweetest families ever! Recently, the Gallup family was no exception! I captured this adorable family of 5 and it was a treat for me to get to know them a bit more. I’m so blessed to leave each of my sessions feeling like I’ve spent time with not just gracious clients, but new friends.
Meet the Gallup Family
Jordan and Jacqueline have been married for 13 years. Jordan is originally from Chicago and Jacque is from Seattle. Despite being raised hundreds of miles away from each other, they were brought together in college at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois. Jordan first asked Jacqueline out on a dating game show that their college produced. How fun is that?! Jacqueline was the host of the show and Jordan was one of the three contestants. She told him she didn’t date contestants but, over 13 years later, she is glad she made an exception.
The Gallups visited Amelia Island for the first time 6 years ago. At the time, they were living in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They instantly fell in love with our little island oasis and they bought a house here one month later. They just knew this is where they wanted to raise their family!
Jordan and Jacqueline have 3 beautiful girls and they all love to be busy! The family adores playing sports, going to the beach, playing by the pool, and taking bike rides to Crane Island.
The family is actively involved at the Journey Church, Amelia Tennis Academy, Amelia Island Soccer, and Royal Amelia Dance (RAD). Plus, Jordan and Jacque have a thriving career together in local real estate and vacation rentals! The Gallups have certainly planted deep roots here in Amelia Island.
After hearing their story, the Gallups family photos on the beautiful beaches of Amelia Island become that much more meaningful! This family was effortless to capture, as the love between each member was so apparent. The girls are all at such precious ages and I know they grow up so quick. Therefore, I was honored to capture photos of this precious season for the Gallups to look back on for years to come!
